Advanced Damage System

The Advanced Damage System (ADS) is a comprehensive overhaul of the standard vehicle damage and maintenance mechanics in Farming Simulator. Machine reliability now depends directly on how carefully and efficiently you operate it. The harder you push your equipment and the less attention you pay to maintenance, the more often it will fail.

Key Features:

• Complete Replacement of the Vanilla Damage System: Vehicles are divided into separate critical systems, each with its own wear factors based on operating conditions.
• Regular Maintenance Becomes Essential: Scheduled servicing is crucial to prevent accelerated wear and avoid expensive repairs.
• Dynamic Breakdowns: Dozens of breakdowns tied to specific systems, each with gameplay effects.
• Reworked Workshop Logic: Includes inspection, repair, maintenance, and overhaul, taking real in-game time.
• Realistic Thermal Simulation: Engines need proper warm-up and can overheat under heavy load.
• Battery and Alternator Simulation: Batteries can discharge, alternators can fail, and starting the engine can become difficult.
• Vehicle-Specific Characteristics: Machines differ by brand and age in reliability and maintainability.

Attention: BETA Version. Always back up your savegames before using it. It is strongly recommended to read the Mod Guide on the GitHub page. Improper maintenance and rough operation will lead to frequent breakdowns.
